Not sure which other XPath expressions you used but the comment is a child of ROOT so /ROOT/comment() should work. Hope that helps.

My tree looks like this: <ROOT> <AAA/> <!-- My Comment node --> <BBB/> </ROOT> I want to get the comment node that is between nodes AAA and BBB. I have tried: List list = m_Doc.selectNodes("/ROOT/AAA/following-sibling::*"); which just selects the BBB nodes and skips the comment node. and I also tried: List list = m_Doc.selectNodes("/ROOT/AAA/comment()"); which doesn't select anything. I have also experimented with other XPath expression which unfortunately also do not work. The only way I get comment() function to work is if the comment node is a child of AAA or BBB. If anyone can tell me how this can be done, I will truly appreciate it! many thanks, Barry ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
